VILLAGES SEEK A SHARE. According to Alderman John Hann of the Sixty-third Aldermanic District, In an address on sewer pipes and sewer construction, before the members of the Thirty-second Ward Citizens Association, last night, at Flatbush avenue and Avenue Vanderveer Park, there Is no necessity In Brooklyn for the construction of a concrete base, or foundation, for the sewers. Alderman Hann said that if the matter were properly explained to Borough President Coler the latter would act iu a fair-minded and boncst manner. "In Brooklyn," he said, "we have a naturally sandy bed, which Is thoroughly settled and which makes the best of foundations, with an even sufaoe. The expensive concrete foundation is therefore unnecessary.

The result would be the best pipe, minus the concrete foundation, at a greatly reduced cost.

I fought this when I became Alderman, because the price of building a sewer had greatly Increased, and vitrified pipe had ex cluded tne competition of cement pipe. Commissioner Brackenrldge finally yielded to me and permitted tho competition of cement Property Is in Good Demand and Price Rule High Some Recent Transfers. olloliUN The Municipal Club dined last night at the Fountain House on Flatbush avenue, near Eighth, and discussed the complications and requirements caused by the change in Brooklyn's population in the last decade.

The subject was ably treated from a great variety of viewpoints, including the educational, statistical, building or housing, municipal, religious, racial, moral and political. After the repast President Hammitt introduced Gilbert Evans, chairman of the committee on housing an charities, who discussed "Recent Changes in the Character of the Population of Brooklyn and Their Consequences." Mr. Evans based his argument Upon transactions in suburban real estate, which seem to indicate the invasion of Flat-bush, Flatlands, Gravesend and New Utrecht by. tenement and apartment houses. Comparing the population of Brooklyn in 1SS3, when the Brooklyn Bridge was opened, with the figures of the stute enumeration of 1805, he showed that from its character as an American city, Brooklyn had become cosmopolitan.

Not only had it increased its population 12U per cent, in twenty-live years, but there had been a change in the racial elements which made up the population. "Twenty-five years ago, when we were all boys," said the speaker, "two out of every three persons against whom we brushed, as we played tag on the strets, were American born. To-day, walking about, we meet hardly one in two of the native born. Then one person in ten was a Jew; now one-sixth of Brooklyn is Jewish. Then, every eighth person was a German; to-day, one in ten.

Then, but one in eighty was Italian; to-day, one in nine. Then, ono In fifty was Scandinavian; now, this population is almost the same. Then, one iu nine was Irish born, now one in eleven." ilr. Evans showed from national and state census figures that, despite the impulse from the opening of the Williamsburg Bridge, Brooklyn is now growing at the rate of 3 1-5 per cent, per annum, as compared with Bronx Borough's annual average growth of 7 per cent, and with a heavy yearly increase in the population of the villages of northwestern New Jersey. He added; "The study of the latest statistics of pop.

ulation eniphusiius more strongly than ever before that loop connections betweeu bridges and the tunnels under the East river, improved service on the surface and elevated roads and subways, and an actual, not theoretical, relief of the bridge crush are all absolutely essential to the maintenance of Brooklyn's position. Our state, our city and our borough sutler from this emigration. Emigration must be turned iuto immigration, it is up to the Board of Kstlmute." The changing character of Brooklyn's population, necessitating chunges iu bousing methods, was the side of the problem taken up by Wesley C. BubIi. formerly tenement house commissioner for Brooklyu.

Observing in the tenement law a beneficent cause and system of reform In the housing of the metropolitan multitudes who require shelter iu New York, Mr. Bush emphasised the transformations due to its operations and its salutary effect upon the Incoming thousands who, had the Imv been delayed until alter the recent great tide of immigration, would have been dumped, promiscuously into the old style "Ghetto-- tenements that to day are a menace wherever they exist. Happily, tho buildings erected to accommodate this incoming nusa, were constructed upon sanitary lines that have had a stupendous bearing on the general social condition In the city, while the old structures were ordired to be remodeled. "The erection of the Williamsburg Bridge." the speaker said. "Is the primal cause of change In character of Brooklyn's tenements.

Realising that the meat structure was nothing mere than a rn.ulwuy connecting the two boroughs, thousands uf migrating to Hrnnklyn. aouKht to be housed, and In the rousiructiiiu of so large a number srose the question of sanitation. With the advent of twenty-family houses in Brooklyn, like Manhattan, land values rose und rents followed, Im Touncd cost of building Wider the new law was good excuse." Enumerating undesirable feature in the big apartment houses, tin- following reasons were mentioned; Kncournp. 'incut of iiu-herding propensity ntiiniig foreigners, thereby making their assimilation more difficult; menace to neighborhood from contagion; increase of fire liunir.l and danger of pan ice; defeat of anticipated result ef tenement ouse law. which to enconr.ige sin families to occupy two-fititMiy nitmriuMi dwellings; injury to surrounding proper') vslues and Jeopardy to the health of adjoining residents.

The Itev. Ward nrlgham, pasior of All Fouls I'nlversallf I Chiinh. ihen took up the discussion of the question of how to tolc the ruoiul atn religious problems consequent upon the changes In population.

Kerord with the new nml iliw The Storage Drawn Poultry Bill Killed by St. Paul's City Council. The project to prevent the preservation In refrlgerative storage of undrawn poultry appears likely to succeed.

A resolution to that effect, offered at a mooting of the City Council of St. Paul, recently, was unanimously voted down. In the discussion of ihe resolution It was shown that no harm had come from consumption of poultry preserved In the undrawn state, since refrigeration was desired. On the other hand, It was conclusively demonstrated that storage of drawn poultry would reduce tho commodity to shapeless musses, promote fermentation and create varying stages of its decomposition, and so render it unwholesome for human food.

However, this greatly reduced the cost of laying sew-ors.

but I am still in the light and until the construction of sewers costs no more than 90 cents a lineal foot I will not be satisfied. I want the civic associations to assist me, and If we can convince Borough President Coler that there Is no necessity for concrete foundations under our sewers, whether they be vitrified or cement pipes, he will do away with the unnecessary expense. "Kurthnrmoro I will pay the entire cost of a trip through the cities of this stattafor the borough president, the commissioner of public works, the engineer of the Sewer Department and myself If they can show me another city outside of Oreator New York whert concrete foundations aro built under pipe sewers.

Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, January 24 Secretary Root has appealed to the Senate and House to authorize him to db.lver to certain officers of the government a job lot of honorary decorations and jewelry which old world kings and potentates have given as gifts to representatives of this government. The Constitution prohibits the acceptance of these honors except by a special act of Congress, and as some of them possess great Intrinsic value there is a strong "lobby" working to get the necessary permission. The "presents" vary from a tiny bit of ribbon to diamond snuff boxes and solid silver punch bowls. Many of them were given In recognition of courtesies extended by this government to visiting princes and admirals.

Others were bestowed upon American consular officers who became popular with the ruling powers of the countries to which they were assigned. The held up gifts Include a number of honorary decorations from tha French republic and from the government of Great Britain, while China, the King of Siam and the Kinveror of Ethiopia are other donors. The men for whom the gifts are intended include statesmen, army and navy officers and lesser lights who have served abroad for the various executive dipartnients.

Dr. George Landor Perln, the philanthropist preacher, of Boston, as the principal speaker of the occasion, the Church of the Good Tidings will consecrate the lecture room of its new church, Stuyvesant avenue and Madison street, this evening at 8 o'clock.

As it was not possible to complete the whole of the new church edifice during the past building season on account of unexpected and unforeseen delays, the bonding committee decided to carry up the walls of the church part of the way and place the siructuro under temporary roof. This has been done and the whole of the lower of the building completed In order that thn church, which had sold its property on Qulncy street to the Hebrew Congregation Sharri Zedek, might have a fitting place in v.blcb to worship. As the rest of the structure cannot be built and made ready for dedication before next fall, it was thought fitting that a seivire of consecration should be held of this part of the church pending ihe completion of the main auditorium. Much of the building material Is now upon the ground and the society fully experts to complete the building In time to dedlcste earlv In September of this year. Cards of Invitation have been sent to all the members of the churches of Ihe metropolitan district, as well aa the neighbors of the vicinity of the church, to attend the consecration service.
